  The topping is what makes this special.  Its actually reasonably healthy considering the amount of oats in it.  And besides that its nummy.  Its my moms recipe, and I've been craving it for about a week.  My new lifestyle allows me to bake without guilt...as long as I reserve it for my binge meal of the day.  Besides Zeria and I have been having a lot of fun cooking.  She's learning about fractions, and reading recipes.  The other kiddos get to watch, but Zeria's getting one on one mommy time.  And she's learning fast.
